I have work to do! And I am more into this sim than I should be. My work is suffering!
Here I am going into Kiel at 2330hrs. As I get closer to the inner harbor a schnell boat comes by. He looks and acts just the way a craft should and he plows and hops the waves I feel like I am really at sea (yes I am at sea quite a lot). And then I see this dynamically lighting on the memorial, ok so I tell the boys to turn on the gramaphone. The sea air (wafting in RL home) is sweet, music is appropriate and I am panning with my binocs. I cannot believe how the structure is lit. How do they do it? Wonderful. Closer in I see the bouys and guide the boat in with commands past the green marker to starboard. Then inside I hear a banging noise - damn if it is not a bell buoy!! C'mon this is too good I say. Binoc panning I see a trestle or bridge, vessels, smoke stacks, a dry dock, more and more eye candy. I cannot believe the detail, the staging inside the drydock, the vessels .. buildings, barrage ballons in the wind!! I hear a band. I see a sub! I can imagine the beer halls at this hour. I shut down the gramaphone and deftly bring my boat into a pen. Sweet. While at sea I saw neutral Swedes with their lights directed on their flags. Radio messages were great! real immersive! I sunk a Polish freighter with my deck gun at night. I have SH3 Commander. I review the patrol and the crew .. my statistics against historic figures at that time. C'mon! This is too good. I mean how do I say it. You guys done good!! I have to go to work now. But I sure am gonna spread the word to all my sea going pals. ![]()
